Result:
LOSS

San Antonio is just 2-3 straight up and 0-5 ATS in their last five games. It's late in the season and they want to win, but have little motivation to pour it on and blowout their competition. They are more likely to rest starters if they get a comfortable lead. To get double digits on a home team against the Spurs right now is a gift. This line is just too big given the situation. Not sure whether Popovich is really going to rest his players to prep for the playoffs? Consider that the Spurs, a GREAT team, are just 5-15 ATS in April games over the past two seasons. Minny is off a 77-89 loss at Indiana but consider that double-digit home dogs off a loss are a 65% proposition in the NBA. Minny to cover here.
